A total of $6,500 was raised by students at Ponoka Secondary Campus last weekend.
Sixty-three students came together and did not eat for 30 hours to raise funds and awareness for the World Vision 30-Hour Famine. Each student was asked to raise at least $100 dollars.
This is the sixth year of the program. Organizer Brady Teeling said the program started with 30 students and has grown over the years.
